Revolution and Cultural Mutation
Rachida Triki
Today in Tunisia and Egypt, and perhaps soon in other oppressed countries, reality exceeds the wildest dreams of emancipation. For decades, anti-democratic practices forbidding freedom of speech and the use of public spaces led to a withdrawn attitude which often steered artistic creations toward the sphere of intimacy – partly to avoid political censorship. This position was also a subtle way to question the modes of identification and subjectivation of the marginalized citizen. Among the best-known works adopting such a stance, one can quote films such as Nouri Bouzid's L'homme de cendres andMoufida Tlatli's La saison des hommes, Alaa Al Aswany's novel L'immeuble Yacoubian or else Jalila Baccar and Fadhel Jaibi's play Jounoun.

More recently, multi-media installations, video works and performances – usually by female artists dealing with womanhood and its social and cultural implications – have deliberately taken an existentialist approach when tackling difference and exclusion. These fictional apparatuses have, at different levels and more or less subversively, re-appropriated the real in order to highlight the various forms that domination and alienation can take. Featuring linguistic, visual and sonic media, these works question the fake normality of the politico-cultural system. Alternative music bands, rappers and one-man-show performers, subtly dealing with multifarious forms of repression and alienation, have captured the imagination of young people looking for ways to express themselves. The continuous rejections experienced by the artists as well as their frustration at the ministry's biased cultural policy have generated a genuine force of resistance and a desire to get rid of this incapacitating system. One must note that the censorship exerted on the media, filmic and literary production has ended up creating a sort of self-censorship that has resulted in fewer and fewer interesting productions.
What happened in Tunisia and in Egypt during the last few months has shown how much new media has been able to actualize the present and to anticipate events – and how much these fictional apparatuses have become catalysts for action. Tunisian and Egyptian peoples' fights for freedom and dignity have been called youth revolution and cyber revolution; these revolutions have also arisen through the image and its powers. It is clear that the use of the web has allowed the emergence of new forms of images that are altogether informational, fictional and creative. Combining speed, visibility, movement and content, these systems have generated in real time a communicative and infectious intensity. Facebookers have exploited the power of the images they produced or reproduced by bypassing the various forms of censorship and widely circulating photos of upheavals and acts of repression – not just as the mirror of a reality, but as a representation of the reality to come. These snapshots, often captured in dangerous situations with video cameras, cameras or mobile phones, have functioned like rallying cries – and thus have become participatory apparatuses allowing interactivity and shared creation through a system of transmission. Web-users' imaginative strength has contributed to undoing the icons of power and to submitting them to various misappropriations in order to exorcize the monster. These new approaches are part of a resistance through new forms of individuation from creative and desiring social subjectivities. Interactive and creative actions have revealed how perversely our perceptions are managed. They place us beyond a univocal conception of art and open up a field of possibilities allowing difference and plurality.

In free Tunisia today, artists have chosen to manifest their new reality with installations and musical performances, as well as with other actions in public spaces. They respond to the radically new socio-political situation we are currently living in and materialize the ongoing revolution's space and time. These artists' strategies allow interactions that call for the civic participation of the spectators/actors and recreate social links in the neighbourhoods' micro-societies. One must notice that the strength of these new 'real-fictions' lies in the fact that these initiatives do not simply accompany events but also contribute to them. This is true in the visual arts where the pictorial transcends itself in the materiality of the revolutionary object, like for example, in Tunis, in the works of artist Amel Zaïem, which combine painting with bits of burnt wood evoking the shape of a guillotine, representing the future of all dictatorship. But the performances and interventions in public space are no doubt what most spontaneously respond to the current circumstances. Besides the various graffiti and tags sprayed on the facades of official buildings and on the walls of the occupied Kasbah, these actions are what best encapsulate today's new social situations and new ways of living one's civic commitment. Sana Tamzini and Sonia Kallel's happenings in the street have artistically expressed a hymn to freedom, which they associate with values such as the respect of the other. They have worked with young design students, putting together performances with their makeshift barricades that enacted the creation of neighbourhood associations (HORR 1, Place Bir Lahjar, 19 February 2011). Another, equally efficient strategy has generated an interesting local dynamic in the area of Carthage Byrsa in Tunis, on a wasteland that had become a dumping ground for burnt cars during the insurrections. On 27 February 2011, these angry ruins were pictorially revisited, tagged and transformed by artist Faten Rouissi and several art and architecture students, as well as by local people. Artistic strategies favouring relational aesthetics to pure contemplation respond to a new field of sensitivities and the way it can be circulated. They are becoming more and more frequent throughout the Tunisian territory and manifest the active presence of social subjectivities - the ones of artist-citizens, fully immersed in a new reality where everything is possible.

Mobile Repair is something that we all fear, because to get a smartphone fixed one needs to exhaust oneself into the lengthy process of repair, go back and forth to the service center to inquire about its status, pay a huge amount even for the smallest repair and come out of the service center without any warranty. But there is something that can save you from this mess, and that is a one-stop mobile repair shop in Pune. Single-window repair centers are well equipped in terms of skilled manpower and tools required to perform a repair work on any branded smartphone or tablet. Some cool benefits of reaching out to these repair centers are convenient online booking, doorstep repair, online tracking facility, free device pick-up and drop and warranty oriented service. If you are looking for Samsung, Motorola, MI, LG, iPhone service center in Pune then it's time to check out the all in one service centers like Yaantra for repair services.
We are so busy in our day to day lives that we delay the small mobile repair tasks till the time they worsen or become so big that they make the phone completely dead! To deal with this market gives you a convenient option to choose and that's doorstep mobile repair. Doorstep service is a new concept that enables the user to get one's smartphone repaired at ones preferred location in a few minutes. This usually involves part replacement tasks such as battery replacement, speaker/MIC replacement, camera replacement screen replacement and minor repair at the doorstep.
One can even walk into the nearest mobile repair shop in Pune to get that damaged phone fixed and by nearest, we mean the best and not the one that's closest to your abode. Repair centers that have hi-tech labs and have certified technicians should be on your wish list as they can offer you quality services. Lab repair services are generally much more affordable than doorstep ones. The latest innovation in this domain is that some companies offer online tracking facility for the lab repair service wherein one can check the status of the damaged device online.
If you believe that your local repair shop technician is eligible to perform the repair simply because you know him and he knows you, then you are heading in the wrong direction! Mobile repair is not an easy task, it demand skills, precision, and expertise else your device will break down again! Allow only the certified technicians to operate on your expensive smartphone. Brands like Yaantra deploy experienced repair technicians to restore the faults. Such brands also invest a huge chunk in training the technicians as every phone comes with a different mechanism, and to work on every new apparatus, technicians require training and tools.
Many mobile repair shops believe in replacing the damaged or faulty part as it's comparatively easier than conducting a repair. But many brands have a repair first approach and they attempt to repair the faulty component in the first place. One should always prefer brands that believe in repairing the device as original components are of much higher quality than its spare parts. In case there comes a need to replace any component then brands that promise quality spare parts should be given preference as fake and low-quality parts are easily available in the market and their shelf life is just a couple of weeks.
Many repair centers nowadays have indigenously built software apps that are capable of detecting faults in a smartphone. In case a fault is left undetected in manual scanning process then it will surely come up in the software scan done through the app. Yaantra is one such brand that has an in-house repair app that scans all the components of the smartphone so that no error is left unprocessed.
Most repair centers stay closed on Sundays when most people have a weekly off from their jobs which makes it impossible for them to get their device repaired on a holiday. In such cases, one has to take an off from the work to get the repair done. Prefer the brands that are open 24×7 and are always available for you so that you can get your mobile repaired as per your convenience.
Warranty is another big issue that most people face when they go out for smartphone repair. Most local repair vendors do not offer any "after repair warranty" which means that you are not covered if the error reappears in future. One should opt for repair vendors that offer a warranty on repair as it will cover you for any inconvenience that may occur anytime in future.
Data security is another worrisome issue for many users. Local repair shops neither guarantee data security nor are they concerned about it in the first place. Reaching out to a reputed and reliable repair brand gives you that security. Doorstep repair services where repair takes place in front of you eliminates all possibilities of data theft while the lab repair is also secure as reputed repair brands invest in CCTV recording of repair labs and access to these labs is highly restricted which again cuts the possibility of data theft.
Whether you are looking for phone screen repair, mobile motherboard repair or mobile battery repair do your homework to end up at the best mobile repair shop in Pune. Yaantra can be a good option as it offers all the above phone repair services at best market price in Pune.

Hakeem Jeffries Elected House Minority Leader in Unanimous Vote – But Who Is He?
by Anthony Tilghman December 1, 2022 December 1, 2022
Earlier this week, the House Democrats delivered the nation a pleasant surprise when the new replacement for Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), who has led them since 2007 and announced her retirement from the long-held post (but not her seat) at the age of 82 earlier this month. She was unanimously replaced with Mr. Hakeem Sekou Jeffries, a little-known Black man from New York's 8th Congressional District, who will shortly assume office as the House minority leader with a narrow Republic lead in the chamber.
Humbled to be elected incoming House Democratic Leader.
Ready to get to work.
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
— Hakeem Jeffries (@RepJeffries) November 30, 2022
Jeffries comes from a relatively obscure background, and has rarely come under the national spotlight. Born in Brooklyn, Jeffries received his entire education in the New York City, where he still resides with his family. After a brief profession in law and public service, Jeffries contested the congressional seat of Roger Green – another African American man known for being New York State Assembly's first Muslim member – losing the bid in 2000, but succeeding in 2006.
Hakeem is currently serving in the House of Representatives since 2013, and has reached high office thanks to his tireless work ethic and exceptional connectivity with his constituents. He was elected chairman of the House Democratic Caucus in 2018, the fifth-highest office in the House controlled by his party. Thanks to his legal background, Jeffries famously served as the first Black Impeachment Manager during the historic first impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump.
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries is known for his strong stance against what he believes to be the rise of far-right extremism in the Republican Party in recent years. Pointing out the American people's rejection of Trump-allied candidates in the mid-term elections on November 8, Jeffries expressed his amazement at the continued Republican efforts to push their luck. He noted that if the Republicans are intent on "Holding the American economy hostage to the debt ceiling (as many leading Republicans have openly declared), that is a fight that we are prepared to lean into aggressively – and we will win".
In his victory address, Jeffries took a punch at the Republican obsession with courting the (predominantly White) middle class. He described the Democratic mandate to: "Advance the ball for everyday Americans … fighting hard for working families, middle class folks, those who aspire to be part of the middle class … young people, seniors, immigrants, veterans; the poor, the sick, the afflicted, the least, the lost, and the left behind."
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries's election to serve as House Democratic Leader is a turning point in history!⁰
Never before has a Black leader held the top position for either party in either chamber.
Today is a good day for the House, our party, and our country.
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) November 30, 2022
Senator Chuck Schumer, the majority leader, said he had known Mr. Jeffries, a Brooklyn neighbor, for years and expected to speak with him the same amount he now talks with Ms. Pelosi: about four to five times a day. "There's going to be a whole bunch of Republicans who are not going to be happy with the MAGA direction of the party, and I couldn't think of a better person to work with them to try and get some things done," Mr. Schumer said.
The best is yet to come.

Leading From Behind.
The most successful leaders have the ability to "lead from behind." That is, they are able to motivate and encourage their team to meet the intended goals and objectives, without being involved in every step of engagement. In essence, the team is motivated sufficiently, in and of themselves, without the continuous management and oversight of the leader.
Leading from behind commences with instilling a degree of dedication and commitment within the team, not merely a willingness to conform (i.e. "I do it because my boss told me I have too").
Here are three means by which you can build inner team dedication and commitment:
Lead by example. Always demonstrate the persona you expect team members to embrace. For Ron Washington to bring the Texas Rangers to the World Series two years in a row is a tremendous feat. Particularly when you consider the degree of inner strength the team must have possessed to overcome such a setback in 2010, in order to aggressively pursue (and come within one game) of achieving their goal yet again.
Encourage and support inter-team reliance. Encouraging and creating collaboration, camaraderie and trust among team members are the key to building team strength. Despite the speculation around Apple's demise following the untimely death of Steve Jobs, Apple will continue to dominate the technology world as a result of the inner team reliance and strength that was instilled during Jobs tenure.
Be honest and forthright. Be open and honest in your communications (tell it like you see it). Always maintain composure, but don't be afraid to show frustration (you are human after all). Like him or not, Bill Clinton was one of the most popular presidents, despite his personal shortcomings, mostly as the result of his honesty and willingness to demonstrate his humanity. Recall the SNL skit of Clinton stopping in at a McDonalds while out for a jog, a parody on Clinton that was one of the most popular skits that Phil Hartman ever did.
Leading from behind is a strategy that builds upon team strength, and creates a self-sufficient and sustainable team focused on achieving their goals, without continuous oversight from the leader. A necessity for any team in a fast paced and time sensitive world.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the existing body of knowledge about what distinguishes effective continuous improvement (CI) approaches and to explain some of the mechanisms which create a successful quality program.
Design/methodology/approach – The empirical data were collected from interviews with employees at several levels in seven companies. The companies were deliberately selected to represent different types of resource consumption and outcome from a quality program.
Findings – The implementation approaches of the studied companies were classified according to four different categories: parallel, integrated, coordinated and project approaches. Companies that adopt a project approach tend to fail to achieve anything more than minor improvements, while companies that take parallel and coordinated approaches realise significant improvements but use more resources than companies that utilise an integrated approach.
Practical implications – This paper illustrates and explains why the project approach ought to be avoided. The paper also highlights the benefits of an integrated approach that is focused on learning.
Originality/value – This paper contributes to theory and practice by providing an empirically-based explanation for the outcome of alternative implementations of CI in practice.


"Japan's Net Loss: 947,000 People," by Jun Hongo. The Wall Street Journal, 2/27/2016.
Japan's recent census showed a decline in population for the first time since they began collecting the data in 1920. The decline was expected, but it is major challenge for Prime Minister Shinzo Abe as he tries to boost long-term economic growth. For this, he needs a stable population of 100 million through 2060 and that requires a fertility rate per woman of 1.8, considerably higher than the rate of under 1.5 now.
Good luck with that. I just watched an hour program on NHK-TV, Japan's largest broadcasting organization, that gave tips for teenaged girls (and older) on achieving the latest kawaii look. Kawaii is Japan's fashion of cloying cuteness or "adorability" normally found only in preadolescent girls on the Disney Channel. Think of Shirley Temple in her cutesy prime, or the Hello Kitty, which is symbolic of kawaii. Except for a few pedophiles, this look hardly inspires thoughts of reproduction.
The total kawaii look involves much effort and expense for cosmetics, clothes, wigs, eye-surgery and even extends to living conditions and the total lifestyle, but girls have the time because the boys are into hikikomori, where they stay in their bedrooms all day playing computer games while their doting parents bring them their meals on trays. Young Japanese today are just not that interested in reproducing.
Japan has long been known for its overpopulation. This new trend suggests the studies of overpopulation in rodent colonies done in 1968, and reported here a little over a year ago in the posting Rodent Overpopulation, 2/2/2015. In those studies, the normal social order broke down among mice raised in crowded conditions to such an extent their populations declined and continued to decline even after the crowding ended.
The phenomena of hikikomori is described in the postings of 6/22/2013 and 12/22/2013. This could be the future for our coming generations and may already be here, I kid you not. The Wall Street Journal recently reported the U.S. female electorate for the first time was primarily single, but not necessarily childless. As Judge Judy says, we have a whole set of laws for married couples. If you chose not to marry, but to play house and have children, don't expect the courts to straighten out your life for you when your situation turns toxic. This could be the first step.

The clue is definitely in the name. The staff 'warn' you that 'because this is not a hotel, right' to adjust your expectations - which you should. It's a niche offer. Art on the walls, cool design, great little bar / restaurant, interesting area if obviously out of the Centre- but rooms without so much as a wardrobe, just a bed, shelf and chair; only one room with its own loo. No TV, safe, wardrobe, kettle, table, anything. The main things are that the rooms are all off the bar / restaurant / breakfast area so you can hear - and in some rooms see - all the other guests clearly until late. No soundproofing. And you have to obviously walk past them to take a pee, have a shower, etc. Be Dutch and relaxed about it all. Make sure if you have a drink and wake up in the night to get a glass of water, go to the loo, etc, that know where your key is - rather than get locked out. It's interesting, memorable, and probably great in the summer, and if you are under 25 and falling into the room asleep.
Excellent stay! Very unique hotel. A little pricey for what you get, but overall a very pleasant hotel. PS: Hotel is a good 30 minute walk to Amsterdam proper, however it is very close to good public transport, alas, this might be a turn off for some.
They got the job done. When you visit you will know what I mean.
Hotel was amazing. Cleanliness was outstanding. Definitely go again and recommend to friends.

I never really considered myself a poet, but my wife has brought it out of me I guess. I have never submitted anything up to this point. I have a rough exterior but hide a kind interior.
I know my husband also loves me so much like you. I'm a lucky one but he will never express it like this poem. It is heart touching.
You're so special - more than you know and more than I show.
You're my soul mate, you're my lover, you're all that I know.
It's your smile and it's your eyes; it's your heart and it's your cries.
I'll love you forever, even long after we die.
You're my friend and you're my life.
You're my light and you're my wife.
You're my shoulder and my strength.
You're the person I need and the one who is there.
I have you right now, and it doesn't seem fair.
'Cause right now isn't enough and forever is too soon.
You're more than a friend and more than a wife, too.
You're my forever, and forever isn't long enough for me and you.
There's a place in heaven waiting just for you.
You're a beautiful soul, and I could forget you never.

BEVERLEY NICHOLS Handwritten letter from the English author, penned in blue ink Autograph Letter signed: "Beverley Nichols", in blue ink, 3x1½. England 1974 February. Letterhead: "Sudbrook Cottage/ Ham Common/ Surrey". No greeting. In part: "With all good wishes from a rather ancient British author, who still survives, in spite of the fact that he has published 54 books, many plays, and approximately 6,000 articles…". A prolific writer who produced more than 60 books and plays on all kinds of subjects, John Beverley Nichols (1898-1983) was best known for his gardening books. After graduating from Oxford University, Nichols began writing for a number of reputable London publications, and his gossip column became wildly popular. One of his best-received works was Down the Garden Path (1932), a bestseller at the time that has been in print steadily since its original publication. Nichols also wrote A Case of Human Bondage (1966), a novel critical of William Somerset Maugham, and the highly-controversial Father Figure (1972). In addition to writing, Nichols appeared in the 1931's Glamour, a film that is now considered lost. Corners lightly worn. Toned. Ink notes (unknown hand) on verso. Horizontal mailing fold.

It's my goal to explore the personal freedom found in creativity without construction of any kind. This desire for personal freedom is usually spawned when limits or boundaries are implemented on one's mind. There are limitations, but it is far more beneficial having personal revelation of them apart from any presuppositions. I believe everyone is an artist and their work will be as unique and original as their fingerprint. Whether it is in photography, painting, sculpture, or music, to name a few, I am confident that any work establishes the expression of one's being in any form, at every age, at all levels, regardless of its reception.
I once wrote that, "my best paintings were accidents, the best sculptures were spontaneous, delightful poetry never spoken and the greatest ideas never written". With much of my work I see it only as a journey. Journeys that may never end, after all, most people say that life is a journey yet never truly arriving at its destination. I intend to continue painting and sculpting toward all the creative possibilities that are found within as well as various amounts of self-expression that one finds along the way. I'm trying to live a simple life having complex ways of thought. Trying to get what we all desire - a sense of self-worth. I find this not in the world but simply in creating things.

I recieved a call on - from a debt collector saying that a - account with a balance of over $5000.00 was in default and that they were debt collectors looking to settle and that if I did not, I would end up in court and sued. When I heard this, I made no promise of payment or agreed to any form of contract payment and then they said I had 3 days to call them back to with my decision or else they would go to court. After this, I felt something was wrong and realized that the account they were referring to was not one that I had opened myself and that I had flagged prior back in - as a possible fraudulent account. After looking into it more I realized that the account in question was opened as a factoring company type account, something which I have never done before. Therefore, I decided to take steps to report my identity as being stolen most likely along with the fraudulent activity.

Patriots Notebook: Brady says he's over 'drama,' ready to move forward and focus on new season
(Maddie Meyer/Getty Images)
As he gets set to open his 19th NFL season, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady said he's not looking for any more drama when it comes to all the off-field stuff.
In his first press conference of the regular season Friday afternoon, Brady was asked about the current state of his relationship with his body coach Alex Guerrero, and if he's OK with that in relation to the team.
"Alex and I, we work together," he said. "I don't want to bring any drama this year, you know? I just want to focus on what I want to and be a great football player for this team and try and be a good example in the locker room and provide great leadership. That's where my focus is. A lot of times, we want to talk about other things, but I just really want to stick to football and focus on being the best player I can be for this team."
Brady touched on a number of other topics:
On his 19th NFL season: "I'm really excited. I'm really excited. It's a blessing to be able to do it. I love playing football. I love the sport. I've been doing it for a long time — I'm not sure what life would be like without it. I've had a few experiences where I haven't been out there, and I haven't liked those very much. So hopefully we can go out and start the season well. We're playing a really good team. They're going to test us in every phase. They're really well coached. They have some good players. That's really where my focus is."
On the confidence level in his receivers: "I have confidence in them, certainly. Phillip (Dorsett) and Chris (Hogan) have obviously ... I played a lot with them last year. Cordarrelle (Patterson) is new. He's done some good things. That's the reason why he's here. He's a really good player. He's been productive in the league. To be on this team, you have to be a good football player. And the guys who are out there, I certainly have a lot of confidence in. We're all going to be learning on the fly, and you've got to build as the season goes. We're in a certain spot now, but this is not where we want to be as we get through the season. Every week, we want to build on things, and there's no way to replicate what we're about to go up against. That's why you have to go through it. We'll see where we're at."
Does the current arrangement with Guerrero work for you? "Yeah. I'm a pretty mentally tough guy, so I've dealt with a lot of circumstances over a long period of time. Eighteen, nineteen years. I'm really excited for the season. I'm really excited for where we're at, where we're going, what we have to do. And there's a lot of challenges we'll face. I want to feel good. I want to be the best quarterback I can be. And that's a big commitment. A daily effort."
At 41 — does it feel different? "Yeah. Like all of us who are … a lot of people in this room who have been in the same career for a long time. You use it to a real advantage, a great advantage if you do things the right way. I feel like I have a lot of experience, a lot of knowledge. And I plan to use it. Football is fun for me. I feel like I can go out there and anticipate a lot of things. Seeing all the coverages. We have a lot of answers to the test. Now, you just have to go do it. Most athletes, by the time you get to a certain point, you have it figured out mentally (but) physically, it becomes really hard. So I'm trying to be at my best physically and be at my best mentally. That's a good place to be. There's a lot of confidence, from my standpoint. I know we're facing a good defense. They challenge you with that D-line. They have good linebackers. Really well-coached and really well in the secondary. It's a good place for us to start."
Adjusting to new receiving groups and that challenge: "I think that's part of the challenge of this particular position, when it comes to offensive football. There are a lot of moving parts from year to year. You may be really good offensively in one area and through free agency or competition, they don't make it, you have to morph the offense to what the guys do well. I've been in the same offense a long time, so in a lot of ways, the system is morphed to what my skill sets have been, and other people have to come in and really fill what that particular role is for them. It's a tough system to play in for a receiver. I definitely don't think it's easy, and I know that because we've had a lot of guys come from a lot of different places. And there's a lot of memorization. Being on the same page with the quarterback. Changing routes at the line of scrimmage. Changing routes in the middle of the play. And you have to be on the same page. So we try to morph the offense to what we all do a good job at, and those things change over the course of the season, with different guys who come in and out. Hopefully, we can do a good job of that this week."

The Techa Cascade of water reservoirs (TCR) is one of the most environmentally challenging facilities resulted from FSUE "PA Mayak" operations. Its reservoirs hold over 360 mln m3 of liquid radioactive waste with a total activity of some 5∙1015 Bq which is about 0.1% of the total radioactivity released from the Chernobyl accident and occupy an area equivalent to roughly the size of 7,000 football fields. A set of actions implemented under a special state program involving the development of a strategic plan aimed at complete elimination of TCR challenges (Strategic Master-Plan for the Techa Cascade of water reservoirs) resulted in considerable reduction of potential hazards associated with this facility. The report summarizes the key elements of this master-plan: defining the facility's final state, feasibility study of the main strategies aimed at its attainment, evaluation of relevant long-term action plans, development of computational tools enabling the long-term forecast of TCR behavior depending on various engineering solutions and different weather conditions.
Keywords: Techa cascade of water reservoirs; TCR; Strategic master plan; SMP; Liquid radioactive waste; Long-term safety; Safety justification
The Techa Cascade of water reservoirs (TCR) at FSUE "PA "Mayak", the world largest near-surface LRW storage reservoir, is associated with a huge number of engineering, scientific and legal challenges that should not be addressed separately [1,2]. The year 2014 saw the completion of a large integrated interdisciplinary R&D project aimed at justifying and ensuring TCR safety. This R&D project is briefly discussed below, whereas much more detailed and specific information is presented in Ref [3].
The mid-20th century attitude towards radio ecological issues did not interfere with creation of similar to TCR facilities. Moreover it somewhat smoothed the way for it [4]. It was strongly believed that environmental medium, in the first place, and human body, in particular, has sufficient resistance to radiation exposure. This firm conviction paved the way for unconditional application of this principle in the development of nuclear technologies without extensive discussions or debate. Furthermore the lack of time and unbiased knowledge in the early years of nuclear development resulted in somewhat simplistic decisions that nevertheless were believed to be rather effective according the RW management priority system of the day. This practice resulted in a number of legacy facilities varying in nature (near-surface LRW storage reservoirs, repositories without proper designs, deep LRW disposal facilities and etc.) and timeframes representing their potential hazard (from hundreds to tens of thousands of years). These facilities were often managed based on ad hoc decisions. A quite detailed discussion of these facilities, as well as relevant approaches and methods designed to ensure their safety and perform the required cleanup is presented in Ref [4-7].
On the whole, all major powers previously engaged in rapid nuclear weapons development have complex and diverse nuclear legacy facilities. However, due to a number of reasons (geographical setting being the most important one) Russian nuclear legacy facilities are considered to be more challenging both in terms of RW amounts and the accumulated activity.
Until mid-1990's these issues have been set aside by nuclear industry, and the true extent of accumulated challenges became evident only by the early XXI century.
Comprehensive Action Plan on Addressing Environmental Issues Associated with Current and Past Operations at FSUE "PA "Mayak" approved in 2003 by Atomic Energy Minister of the Russian Federation was a first example of applying strategic approach to addressing RW management challenges. More detailed information on "PA "Mayak" is given in Ref [8].
Another major milestone in adjusting domestic RW management approaches according to the international ones was the development of a Strategic Master-Plan on Disposition and Environmental Cleanup of Decommissioned Nuclear Navy Facilities, the project led by member of the Russian Academy of Sciences A.A. Sarkisov [9].
Therefore, the launch of the first large-scale state nuclear legacy program (FTP NRS), setting up a framework for the activities discussed below, was an obvious next step aimed at living up to the potential accumulated by the mid-2000's.
Strategic master-plan for the Techa Cascade of water reservoirs
TCR size (surface area of over 50 km2) and the strong dependence of its state on precipitation make it really hard to manage. Unlike common water reservoirs, any event of TCR overflow is highly undesirable, whereas uncontrolled overflow is totally unacceptable. Since the early 2000's the most high-level officials have been discussing TCR challenges: TCR overflow threatened the environment whereas no credible management options existed at the time. Urgent management actions taken at TCR and favorable water conditions in the mid-2010's enabled the development of TCR Strategic Master-Plan (SMP TCR). Its overall objective was to justify and select the most suitable TCR management strategy covering the whole time period associated with TCR potential hazard. Based on it relevant organizational and technical arrangements have been developed.
The project launched in 2008 involved a large number of experts from 5 organizations whose expertise covered the whole range of the envisaged challenges (Figure 1): IBRAE RAS- the main contractor, FSUE "Gidrospecgeologiya"-hydrogeological and geochemical support, FSUE "PA "Mayak"-TCR operation, initial data; LLC "Gidrotech"-engineering design of LRW treatment technologies, construction and testing, LLC "NIEP"-feasibility study on the availability of water resources for a power reactor unit.

New research tasks for SMP TCR development
It became clear that the scope of previously conducted research is far not enough to enable maximum management options and develop a well-defined long-term action plan. A number of new tasks were added on the agenda, in particular:
To evaluate the TCR, being on its own a complex facility (water reservoirs V-3, V-4, V-10, V-11, hydraulic engineering structures, including by-pass channels), as an integral part of a wider system involving a large number of different facilities inside and outside the industrial site, including Irtyash-Kaslinsk lake system, water reservoirs V-9 and V-17, water reservoir V-2, ground water and the river Techa.
To address all regulatory matters: the extent of the problem was so high that in late 2010's it almost caused the radiochemical plant shutdown.
To organize all available monitoring data.
To gain full understanding of TCR state at each step of its lifecycle. The top priority task was to evaluate TCR water balance and its isotope inventory.
To define the whole range of engineering solutions enabling TCR integrated management, considering the possibility of gradual lifting the restrictions imposed on the use the Techa river resources, including its floodplain.
To define TCR final state, as well as relevant strategies and timeframes.
To develop a roadmap and a plan of organizational and engineering arrangements for each and every strategy.
This work was completed in 2014. In keeping with the best strategic management practice, several editions of the final report were made available for different stakeholders: a small pamphlet discussing in brief the major achievements, a multipage volume describing all the results achieved, and a more detailed report containing all relevant supporting materials.
Based on thorough analysis of ways enabling to justify and ensure TCR safety, the outlook on its final state has been shaped, as well as a comprehensive vision of its life cycle followed by the development of tools required for the safety assessment and strategy analysis, in particular:
Pathways and the associated effects on human and the environment were identified; the most relevant processes influencing the entire system behavior were outlined.
All necessary historical data was acquired and organized (long-term hydrogeological, meteorological, radiation and chemical monitoring surveys).
Specific calculation models and techniques used to predict TCR state and the environmental settings in the region based on modern methods of space-time series analysis were developed, enabling to forecast:
Volumes and levels of water in TCR reservoirs induced by natural and anthropogenic influences.
Seepage flows in the hydrodynamic system "reservoirsgroundwater- bypass channels".
Rate of Sr-90 infiltration into the environment allowing for various scenarios of regional changes in water level and performance of various engineering and technical activities.
Sr-90 specific activity fluctuations in waters and bottom sediments of the TCR reservoirs (given sediment detachment as well) and in the river Techa.
Probability and effects of emergencies involving TCR activity release into the environment (eolian entrainment, emergency overflow).
The models developed were integrated into a unified calculation complex "TCR-Prognoz" (Figure 2) It enabled to evaluate over 60 different TCR operation scenarios involving various natural (mainly precipitation) and anthropogenic (primary discharged LRW amounts and activities, as well as weir sill level) influences.
Figure 2: Calculation-monitoring complex "TCR-Prognoz" (evaluating filtration between bypass channels and TCR reservoirs).
Thereafter, for the first time ever TCR was granted the status of a nuclear facility. Acceptable limits for radionuclide discharges from TCR into the environment were set for this nuclear facility based on a specially developed technique which was also a novel practice for Russian nuclear industry.
date, treatment technologies for TCR LRW, both already stored therein and the discharged ones have been developed, relevant facilities have been constructed and tested.
Comparison of alternative TCR management strategies
Three main strategies aimed at reaching TCR final state were considered (1-facility management using hydro-engineering structures; 2-construction and operation of a treatment facility designed to process the water from V-11 reservoir with a capacity of more than 10 mln m3/year; 3-construction and operation of a nuclear power unit using TCR water as coolant) (Figure 3).
Figure 3: Comparison of risks associated with the implementation of different strategies (red-strategy 1, yellow-strategy 2, greenstrategy 3).
The long-term program developed is aimed at most prompt cleanup of V-11 water (20-30 years).
The above presented dependencies used to compare different strategies are fundamental, whereas relevant numerical data can be presented in different forms (for example, the amount of radionuclides discharged annually from TCR or V-11 overflow potential).
Integrated hazard and environmental damage index widely used in the literature was used in this evaluation [10-12]. For the purpose of this research, the following equation was used to calculate TCR hazard index (HI) (or the Safety and Environmental Detriment Score as referred to NDA [12]): HI=RHP × (FD × WUD)4, where RHPRadiological Hazard Potential, FD-Facility Descriptor, WUD-Waste Uncertainty Descriptor. It should be noted that the initial NDA SED calculation approach and relevant coefficient values have been substantially elaborated and its functional capabilities have been greatly improved in Ref [13-15] so that they could better respond to individual efforts and facilities listed under the FTP NRS.
TCR Strategic Master-Plan (SMP TCR) aimed at justifying and selecting the most suitable management strategy covering the whole time period associated with its potential hazard was developed. Based on it, a list of relevant organizational and technical arrangements was elaborated. The experience gained form SMP TCR development and its subsequent application showed the advantages of SMP approach aimed at planning and managing the life cycle and safety of key legacy facilities, as well as nuclear legacy as a whole.
Efforts launched in 2016 under the TCR Strategic Master-Plan are to ensure:
TCR conformity with all regulatory safety requirements both in the short run and until its release from regulatory control;
Maximum reduction of emergency risks until their complete elimination;
Ongoing operation of "PA "Mayak" production facilities;
Minimum direct costs to ensure TCR safety;
Complete radiological restoration of ecosystems covering the watersheds of rivers Techa, Iset, Tobol and Irtysh;
Socioeconomic impact associated with active infrastructure development in the FSUE "PA "Mayak" area.

Pilpintuwasi
The highlight of my trip so far has been the month I spent volunteering in butterfly farm and animal rescue centre Pilpintuwasi. The name means "butterfly house" in Quechua.
It was set up by an Austrian woman called Gudrun who has battled through all the odds which could possibly have been stacked against her, including government bureaucracy, exes trying to ruin her business, slacking workers and a total lack of funding – yet has created an absolute haven in the middle of the jungle.
Fun fact: If butterflies land on you, it's because they want to eat your sweat. It means you're really sweaty.
Walking into Pilpintuwasi is like stepping into a different world. You find yourself in a mesh tunnel, surrounded by wildlife on all sides (this is the kind of animal centre where it's the humans who are in the cage), including monkeys which may try to groom your hair or steal your phone as you try to take photos of them. The first stop is the butterfly house which is a massive netted area full of exotic plants and the most beautiful coloured butterflies. From there, you'll head into the hatchery to see the caterpillars, and from there it's a tour of the animals rescued from various parts of the illegal pet trade, and the ADI (Animal Defenders International) animals who have really suffered at the hands of humans. The tour finishes with a jaguar called Pedro, who I have had the chance to feed (it's terrifying), the tapir Chibbolo, who sprayed a very annoying couple of men from the States (it was hilarious), and some sloths.
Mono Leoncitos, or Pygmy Marmozets, are the smallest species of monkey in the world. They are often hunted to become pets, and many die in the process or from malnutrition as a result of owners not feeding them correctly.
What I love the most about Pilpintuwasi is that it exists against all odds. Gudrun loved animals but set out merely to open a butterfly farm ("I wanted to work with animals I wouldn't get attached to" – butterflies only live for two weeks) but instead was landed with a whole host of monkeys and ocelots and more. Its only income comes from the entry fees and from donations, so it's a constant battle to stay afloat, but Gudrun manages it but the sheer force of will alone.
I have spent my time at Pilpintuwasi cleaning shit, getting pissed on, getting attacked by an emotionally unstable Capuchin monkey (I'm going to have scars), getting more mosquito bites than I could ever hope to count, falling more and more in love with the jungle and the animals who live there, leading fantastically interesting people on tours, leading incredibly annoying people on tours, getting to know Gudrun and appreciating the amount of life which the jungle gives birth to. Whether its army ants, a jaguar or the weird and wonderful plants which I will never learn all the names of, I have fallen in love with la Selva and everything it has to offer. Pilpintuwasi has been an incredibly big part of that and has definitely been the highlight of my trip so far.
Find out how you can give this guy a helping hand down below!
I am going to continue supporting the work Gudrun is doing at the centre, whether it is donating a little each month or by continuing to take charge of their social media. I'm not going to forget this place in a hurry.
Please consider donating to the appeal which I'm linking below – we're raising money to build Chibbolo a swimming pool! You can also find links to our website and social media below (and if you give us a like/ follow, you'll also be helping make me look good!)
